Bug#1022149: ktimetracker total data loss

2022-10-21 Thread David Jarvie
This looks of it could be the same issue as bug 1021938, which is due to a 
regression in libical version 3.0.15.

Bug#968281: I cannot export alarms in Kalarm

2020-08-12 Thread David Jarvie
This bug description looks like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374337. 
This was fixed in KDE Applications 16.12.1. (The version you are reporting 
about is an earlier version, 16.04.3.)

Bug#671619: Bug has been fixed upstream

2012-05-20 Thread David Jarvie
This bug has already been fixed upstream (see 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271580). The fix was done after KDE 4.4.11 
was released, so it is unlikely to be released as a new kdepim version. The 
latest kdepim/kalarm 4.4 branch sources should be obtained from git to get the 
fix (or get the git commit mentioned in the KDE bug report).

Bug#367935: checkinstall's temporary script is deleted by installwatch and installation therefore fails

2006-06-08 Thread David Jarvie
The bug has occurred again. I built Qt 4 (downloaded from KDE's SVN qt-copy), 
and then tried to install it with this command:

checkinstall --pkgname=qt4x make install_qmake install_mkspecs 
sub-src-install_subtargets sub-tools-install_subtargets install_htmldocs

It's a pretty big package to install, but it happens to produce the bug.

Bug#367935: checkinstall's temporary script is deleted by installwatch and installation therefore fails

 What is the install command you are using? Can you easily reproduce this
 bug?

I tried reinstalling checkinstall-1.5.3-3, and now it seems to work without my 
patch. It previously failed consistently for a period of weeks, and I have no 
idea why it now works when previously it didn't (unless either there is 
something in the rand calls which is time sensitive, or another library has 
changed). It used to fail even with a simple test script containing something 
like mkdir -p /var/tmp/abcde.

However, I still think that my patch (or something else with a similar effect) 
is a sensible precaution, since it eliminates any possibility that 
checkinstall and installwatch can use the same temporary directory, and 
therefore prevents the problem I described.

Bug#367935: checkinstall's temporary script is deleted by installwatch and installation therefore fails

2006-05-18 Thread David Jarvie
Package: checkinstall
Version: 1.5.3-3
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

Checkinstall creates a script in a temporary directory for execution
by installwatch. Installwatch also uses a temporary directory, which
it removes if it already exists. Checkinstall and installwatch both
use the same algorithm to create a temporary directory name, with the
result that they both use the same temporary directory, so that
installwatch deletes the directory containing checkinstall's script.
There is then nothing for installwatch to execute, resulting in a
failure message:

/usr/bin/installwatch: line 345:
/var/tmp/KIKjLRhMLrIpmlArapqN/installscript.sh: No such file or directory

This can be fixed with certainty by making the temporary directory names
used by checkinstall and installwatch different lengths, as in the
following patch.

Bug#367077: installwatch: Segmentation faults on mkdir, cp

2006-05-13 Thread David Jarvie
Package: installwatch
Version: 0.6.3-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Whenever I run checkinstall, I get a segmentation fault when it invokes 
installwatch. It used to work until around 2 - 4 weeks ago. This fault renders 
checkinstall useless.

The output on the console is, for example:

Copying documentation directory...
/var/tmp/pBcFXBogLSoZdCkGjJOn/installscript.sh: line 14: 22439
Segmentation fault  mkdir -p /usr/share/doc/qt41

The fault occurs even if the directory being created by mkdir already
exists.

I tried creating a little script and manually running installwatch. The
commands 'mkdir' and 'cp' both fail with a segmentation fault, whereas
'echo' doesn't.

Bug#361270: Upgrade of initramfs-tools made kernel unbootable with lilo

2006-04-07 Thread David Jarvie
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.59b
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Upgrading initramfs-tools yesterday caused the current kernel 2.6.15-1
to become unbootable, apparently because the upgrade process regenerated
initrd.img-2.6.15-1-k7. The upgrade process should have warned me to
rerun lilo.

Note that I normally use kernel 2.6.15-1-k7, rather than 2.6.12 listed below, 
but
due to 2.6.15 being unbootable I had to boot into 2.6.12.

Bug#361270: Upgrade of initramfs-tools made kernel unbootable with lilo

2006-04-07 Thread David Jarvie
On Friday 07 April 2006 21:44, maximilian attems wrote:
 kernel-package wants to drop ability to run lilo on the postinstall.
 grub is the _default_.

 update-initramfs can easily check for an lilo.conf and warn in those cases.

A warning (preferably in the form of a prompt which must be acknowledged) 
would be fine as far as I'm concerned. I've never been entirely happy about 
kernel-package offering to replace the MBR or run lilo directly, since my MBR 
is not written by either lilo or grub.

Regards,
David.

Bug#351623: Fix doesn't work for me

2006-02-22 Thread David Jarvie
I had the same problem since the latest kernel update. I did a 'reiserfsck 
--clean-attributes' and changed /etc/fstab to add 'noattrs' options, but on 
at least one reiserfs partition, I'm still getting lots of the same errors. 
That partition is reiser v3.5 format, while my other reiserfs partitions are 
v3.6. I haven't yet noticed any problems on the v3.6 partitions, although I 
didn't get very many before, so they may yet happen. Downgrade to 2.6.12 
kernel seems the only answer for now.
